You neglected to specify that the "tay" should be Barry's.

[Arthur Guinness]

Define "Culchie".

[peatbog]

Define "Culchie".

Someone who loves all of the above........

[mr chips]

Barry's is pish. Punjana every time.
Apart from that (and nos. 6, 11 and 14), most of those are that close to me that I have to ask how you got dem hidden cameras into me house, Simba. Anyway, it's lashing with rain so I'm off to dig a hole. Make sure you've a slice of barmbreac and a good cup of strong tay ready for when I come in, or I'll not bother takin the wellies off before walkin on the good kitchen floor.

[abbeyboatman]

You forgot "Glenroe" bring it Back, and no respecting Culchie would be seen dead in Green Wellies, they would have to be Black and the tops turned down, you might get away with black with grey soles and toes....Dunlops the brand of choice.....Green wellies are only for the Girlies following the hunt!

My profuse apologies Sailor. Black Wellies it is from now on. (with the tops down of course.)[img]smileys/wink.gif[/img]


As for you Mr. Chips, If you think you're walking mud all over my clean floor, think again. You can have your breac and tay on the doorstep like many a good culchie does. As for the hidden cameras, would you ever change that feckin wallpaper in the hall, it's vomit inducing. [img]smileys/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Stanley]

Looks like the wife was lucky to get in at no. 50, what happens the rest of the week is there a chance of him going blind

Swiggin' tay from a Power's whiskey bottle that's wrapped with newspaper. It's warm, milky and sweet.
This is done, mid shearing the sheep on the out farm or when at the bog. Or when going up the mountain to bring down the ewes and lambs for shearing.

[rathbaner]

That is superb! Well done!!!

However, We all like cappucinos now too.

31. Should now read:

No fear of change since the cappucino bar opened at the creamery.

[rathbaner]

No alcomol or fags either - sign of the times?


56. A few pints and a rolly at the back door of the pub of a chuseday
night, and Nora, and the way she might look at you.

[SIMBA]

I dunno Rathbaner. As an ex culchie WAG I think the fear of change bit is fairly on the ball. Then again it was a long time ago and maybe thingsare differentnow.

[mr chips]

Nothin wrong with the mud, it's good clean dirt and it pays the
housekeeping. And that wallpaper was good enough for me granny, I'll
not hear a word against it. It took her years to collect all that
brown paper from the butcher - that's forty seven years' worth of
carefully unwrapped Sunday cutlets she has pasted up there. Jaysus but
she was a hardy woman. C'mere till I tell you though, sure when you
start in one corner and work your way across to the other it gives you
a terrible shock to see how the price of meat has gone up over the
years. Yeh wouldn't get much for one and six these days, I'm tellin
you. Now where's me tay?

Fryin eggs on car bonnets.


Another great culchie pastime from that Sally O'Brien Harp add.

I used to really like Glenroe

[LondonMunster]

Any reason for no mention of mikado biscuits, c**try butther and bright pink luncheon meet?

[SIMBA]

Sorry LM. I'll do better next time. It was still a bit early in the morning and the cobwebs hadn't totally cleared yet.


I think they call the auld bright pink luncheon meat brawn in culchie land. It's made from boiling pigs heads.

[SIMBA]

I also forgot to mention - Hairy Arse Festivals.

[LondonMunster]

I don't want to start sounding like my Ol Fella, but itsn't brawn held together with jelly, whereas luncheon meet by colouring and additives?


Of course it could be brawn everywhere else in the country except Waterford, where my Uncles are living proof that things are very different.

Thanks for reminding me, knew there was something I need to get today.

[SIMBA]

You are starting to sound like an old fella. [img]smileys/wink.gif[/img]Luncheon meat is a cheap less tasty less arduous version of brawn.


You're right about the gelatine from the pigs head and trotters holding it all together. It's gorgeous slathered on a slab of soda bread.

[LondonMunster]

I've tried to resist it but I have to mention:


Eating crubeens with your fingers.


A slab of soda bread Simba? Buttery flowery blas are the only things to brawn justice.

[SIMBA]

Soda bread rocks LM.


As do Crubeens, Packet and Tripe, Skirts and Kidneys, Currany Cake and Apple Cake as opposed to Tart.


Btw, Wtf is blas?
